It's mostly the recent east coast invaders that get all worked up by it. also working class people who grew up in SF, which means mostly minorities these days. Its especially popular among poor black SF natives. in my experience most people who poo poo talk "frisco" are upper middle class/wealthy, or transplants who heard that they're supposed to hate it lol. Herb Caen probably helped make it popular to hate that name more than anyone else in recent-ish decades, and he was a transplant himself, who later admitted that it has deep working class roots in the city (he used dockworkers as his example), and he was wrong to say people can't say it. Of course rich people will still accuse you of being "low class" or from Oklahoma or Oakland or LA or whatever, if you say it.

Cup Runneth Over posted:The argument I actually made is none of those things, but rather that cops are an inherently violent and unaccountable force that ultimately answers to capital and not to the people, and you should only call them if the situation is life-threatening, and in an ideal world the community would band together to fulfill that function.

Be like Chicago where people only use the names and if you aren't from there then you need to cross-reference with a map to figure out what someone is trying to tell you.

Multiple freeways are called the San Diego Freeway and one freeway can have multiple names. It’s very confusing!

As a transplant from the East Coast, there are many things I find confusing about your highways and how they are referred to... but the absolute worst part is the fact that highway off ramps are allergic to Exit numbers.

I hate the highway offramp numbers and how Google tells you what offramp to use by exit number. Tell me the name of the goddam street, Google! That thing that's in big letters, easy to read as I fly on by? Yeah that one. Not the one in little letters on a small sign right by the offramp. I hate it so much.

Nah, exit numbers are great for situations like where Mission crosses the freeway multiple times. That one got generations of new drivers on the way to San Jose.
